Scheduled Reading: (Click here to read; click back to return to devotional)

• 2 Chronicles 4:1 - 6:11
• Psalm 90:3-8
• Proverbs 18:23-24
• Acts 17:32 - 18:17

Much is being said about Darryl Stingley, former NFL New England Patriots Wide Receiver who was paralyzed in a 1978 pre-season game against the Oakland Raiders. He died today. While I honestly do not know much about the famous football player, I am quite confident that he never expected that to be his last football game that day. He was cut down in the prime of a very promising career. Check out the video at the bottom of this post for more information.

None of us are guaranteed tomorrow. Psalm 90:3-8 points that out very effectively.Our lives are lived best when we keep that in mind.

the other passages in our reading today tell stories of men of God who followed their calling and their passion with all their heart. It sounds to me like they never banked on having too many tomorrows in their future.
